Niall McLaughlin Architects are delighted that our project The Fishing Hut in Hampshire has made the shortlist for the Stephen Lawrence Prize. The prize is to award the best examples of projects that have a construction budget of less than £1million and was set up in the memory of Stephen Lawrence.
Niall McLaughlin was the invited speaker at the Age UK Conference entitled ‘Later Life: Better Health and Care in Tough Times”. The subject of the talk was the role of the architect in designing for dementia, focusing on insights gain from the design of the Alzheimer’s Respite Centre in Dublin, as well as the practice’s consultation work for the London Borough of Camden in their design for new residential care homes. The lecture also touched on broader themes of how we develop spatial understanding and language from birth and how this abstract awareness is affected with the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease.
